Title: Improvements in Fuses for Explosive Projectiles.
Inventor: PONT FRANCIS IRENEE DU
IPC: F42C15/22
Filed: 1911-09-07
Granted: 1912-05-09
Abstract: 19,940. Du Pont, F. I. Sept. 15, 1910, [Convention date]. Projectile fuses.-Relates to mechanical time fuses actuated by a weight pivoted on the longitudinal axis of the projectile, and consists (1) in arranging the weight, for example, as a fly-wheel t, so that its centre of gravity coincides with the pivot, and (2) in locking the wheel hy a piston v which is normally held in place by a lead pin x, but is displaced by the pressure of the gun gases on a gas-check w at its rear end. The rotation of the projectile while the wheel t remains at rest on account of its inertia causes a nut p to travel rearwards: after a given time, arms n are released and allow a spherical head m with the hammer h to slip forward and ignite a percussion cap g.

Abstract: 22,534. Hahn, P. Oct. 12. Hank type. - Apparatus for mercerizing cotton skeins, placed upon rotating tentering- rollers, by impregnating them simultaneously in all parts with the treating-liquid, for example lye or rinsing-water, comprises a pair of rollers a, b, with their axes parallel and in the same vertical plane, which are in use introduced into the cavity of double-walled receptacle c, the inner wall c<1> of which has a large number of nozzle holes d which are usually closed by a slide e. The lower roller b turns in fixed bearings, whereas those of the upper a can be shifted vertically for changing and stretching the skeins.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Signalling on Trains and for Stopping Trains.
Inventor: MINNICK ALFRED
IPC: B61L3/18
Filed: 1912-01-30
Granted: 1913-01-30
Abstract: 2437. Minnick, A. Jan. 30. Electrical systems, automatic; track apparatus actuating signals on trains and for stopping trains; recording signals.-In a system for stopping trains by means of an electric circuit completed by track conductors through apparatus on each train, each train apparatus includes a source of energy G, train-pipe releasing-valve apparatus E, F, a push-button P for permitting a train to enter a danger zone without being stopped, and a clock C for recording such action, an alarm bell D, and a timeswitch C<1>, which may he opened by the driver to put the apparatus out of action but is reset automatically after a fixed time. The currentcollector A is fitted with a rolling contact 5, a brush 6, and a sliding contact maker 8<1>. The apparatus F, shown in Fig. 11, comprises a pivoted magnet 24 the core of which is pivoted to the valve lever 28 and moves the latter through a right-angle against the action of the spring 29. The apparatus E, shown in Fig. 7, comprises a valve rotated by a spiral spring 13 when released by the tooth 17 of the magnet 19¢. The valve is manually reset by lifting the rod 23 which engages a hook 16. A spare spring J is provided. Both valves, when operated, connect the train pipe 20 to the release port 21, and close the pipe 33 to the engineer's valve. The bell D is energized from dry cells when a relay magnet in the main circuit is energized; this relay is designed to be energized by smaller currents than are necessary for the operation of the brake valves. The time switch C'. shown in Fig. 14, normally closes the contacts 46, 47, which may be opened by the driver by moving the handle 34 to the position shown in full lines, in which it is held by the point 36 engaging a notch in the lever 37. The switch may be released by movement of this lever 37 towards the lever 34, but should the driver omit to do this, clock-work put into gear with the pinion 57 when the switch is opened drives the pinion 57 against the action of a spring until a pin.on the pinion moves the lever 37 to release the switch arm 34 and allows the spring 43 to close the switch, and simultaneously moves the pinion away from the clock-work. The spring thereupon replaces the pinion 57 in its initial position. In order to proceed into a danger zone the driver presses the button P, which opens the brake-valve actuating circuit and closes a circuit from the battery G through the magnet d of the recording-clock C, which records the fact. Fig. 20 shows a means for cutting-out the airpump and stopping the train. The lever 108,. when operated by an electro-magnet, opens the valve 109 and closes the pump cut-out valve 107. Escaping air leaks past the plunger 104, which is gradually moved thereby to close the circuit of a magnet 24<1>, which closes the lap valve E' so as to prevent escape of air from the conduit 110 after the train is stopped.

Abstract: 4802. Kimber, W. C., and Haddon, W. Feb. 26. Inking-apparatus.-In engraved plate wiping- apparatus of the kind comprising rollers A, B, C having a translatory movement relatively to the plate, as well as a rotary movement, the rollers are resiliently mounted and positively rotated so as to have a peripheral movement relatively to the plate. The ink is removed from the rollers, and passed into troughs V by scraper blades P, adjusted by screws U. The rollers A, B, C are mounted in bearings E, adjusted by screws F, and resiliently pressed down by springs G adjusted by nuts H. The rollers may be pneumatic, or have a coating of leather, rubber-compound, or the like covering a packing of resilient material J. They are positively driven by means such as a train of spur-wheels. As shown, the frame D is arranged to have an oscillating motion, and the rollers A, B, C are therefore arranged in an arc, but a straight line motion may be given to the frame, and the rollers, if large enough to allow of cleaning, may be oscillated. In a further modification, the wiping-surfaces are in the form of endless or other bands of impervious material passing round the rollers, and cleaned by the scrapers as before. The troughs V are mounted on pins at one end, and held by screws so as to be readily removable.

Title: Improvements in the Treatment of Waste Silk or other Fibres to Increase their Coefficient of Friction on each other.
Inventor: MUNTZ WILLIAM EDGAR
IPC: D02G3/40
Filed: 1913-04-08
Granted: 1914-04-08
Abstract: 8278. Muntz, W. E. April 8. Fibres, treating; yarns &c., treating with liquids.-Fibres, of a smooth and slippery nature such as waste silk, thistledown, and deep-sea fibre (Posidonia Australis) which are difficult or impossible to spin, or, if spun, yield a yarn that is practically useless, are immersed, under pressure or in a vacuum if necessary, before, during, or after spinning, in a mobile solution capable of depositing on the fibres an adhering coating which increases the coefficient of friction of the fibres upon each other. The solution, for instance rubber in pure carbon bisulphide, benzol, &c., gelatine in water &c., gum, glycerine, or animal glue or gelatine in acetic acid, must be completely fluid so as completely and evenly to cover the fibres, and the solvent is removed by evaporation, preferably in a closed chamber if the solvent is to be recovered. The yarn may be treated after being loosely spun and then dried in a more twisted condition, the fibres being left cemented together. The deposit of rubber may be hardened, strengthened, and rendered insoluble in water by vulcanization, and that of gelatine or gum by treatment with formalin, alum, chrome-alum, or potassium bichromate with free exposure to light. A suitable solid, finely divided, may be suspended in the solution so as to adhere to the fibre after the solution is evaporated.
